Hey guys, found this on the net today, basically 19 minutes of In Car footage of the R32 Calsonic Skyline GTR at Fuji Speedway in the wet!

It's pretty good to see how he crushes the field from the back of the grid in the rolling start.

Anyways, enjoy!

GTR PRON

yeah I was pretty wrapped to find it, i've seen the ol JGTC videos before but never a full 18 minutes of GTR in car with no commentary or some video that some douche has dubbed over with a crappy remix of some crappy track. I'll try and find some more.

They used old school (well duh) crash boxes.

Using an older shift pattern widely used in old porkas, something about first not being needed often on circuits so it was put somewhere out of the way.

Reverse is where we have first

first is where we have second

second is our third

third is our fourth

fourth is our fifth

fifth is below our fifth or where a getrag has sixth

they had different ratio boxes/diffs for different tracks, you can see an example of this in the video of tsuchia driving his old Taisan gtr at tsukuba after NISMO omori restored it. It's a good video, his comments are worth listening to aswel he says how good the car feels, how responsive and sharp and then he goes on to do something like a 60 second lap pretty much straightaway. From memory that taisan gtr has the setup from Fuji in it still.

If anyone has more vids like the one linked in the first post please put them up :P

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

Yeah 94 had an awesome field!!!

Definatly a different vid mate, there's a line where he is about to get in it and turns to the Nismo mechanic who just restored the car "can i go full throttle in this car?" without even taking a breath the mechanic replies "yes." with this smile he's trying to hide from the superstar driver. Then they start the car and he drives off, such an awesome video.

I cant believe a team actually thought the lambo would be a decent race car hahaha

Here's some pics ive taken of that era cars while in Japan;

Ahhh I see I see. Thanks man. I figured the gear ratio's etc would be custom and it may be a strengthened box but not that different.

It definatly sounds like straight cut gears in at least first and second :(

There's a C110 above for a bit of inspiration :D SO pissed i dont have room for one here

It makes you wonder where are they all now?

Of course the NISMO cars are all in nismos hands but what about the others?!

I was told a funny story in 2006, a person I know was making frequent trips to japan to buy parts, import them and then sell here, while doing the rounds at a workshop they asked politely if they could see what second hand parts the place had. After looking through and picking up all the good bits they opened a small door at the back of the room being used to stash parts which was partly hidden by all the stuff in the room. Went outside and up some stairs, there was an r32 group a gtr under a makeshift carport at the end of the ramp to the roof they havnt used in literally years. Completely filthy but complete as raced last. Went inside and asked the owner how much to sell it. He had forgotten he owned it! And no, wouldn't sell!

yeah there would be quite a few of thise little surprises over there. I always wanted to know what happened to the 4 of these that were built:

MAZDA FAMILIA SPORT 4 1989 JAPANESE RALLY PRON

80d1093786390-mazda-familia-sport-4-sport4.jpg

75d1093785591-mazda-familia-sport-4-1005_2.jpg

You would think that at least one would be in the Mazda Museum (although i've never been there to confirm this) or would at least be in the hands of mazda in the back of some factory somewhere gathering dust. But what of the others? There was 2 black, 1 silver and one red one built, only reason I know this is because i've seen a pic of all 4 of them together somewhere before. Bugger all info on the net about them.

Anyway, I suppose I should be posting on topic in my own thread lol, but if anyone has other pics of this put em up as it was pretty hard core!

  • 3 weeks later...

OK so I found another sweet video.

This one is the late great Ayrton Senna belting the crap out of the brand new (at the time) Honda NSX-R. Check out his mid corner pedal work! I've never seen anyone do that before maybe someone here can answer the reasoning for doing it?

Anyway, here's the video

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
